World of Warcraft – Part 12 – Damnation

World of Warcraft – Part 12 – Damnation

So, Death Knights. Death Knights are a little odd in how they work.  Unlike every other class, you cannot create a Death Knight until level 55.  I’m not real sure why this is exactly, I guess it makes slightly more sense for a harbinger of doom to be an experienced powerful warrior, not some crummy level 1 nobody.  Also, according to the plot, Death Knights seem to be fallen or corrupted warriors, so maybe the idea is, you would “recreate” your character as a Death Knight.  As a Death Knight, you work for the Lich King Arthas.  This pleases me…

World of Warcraft – Part 11 – Dungeons and Dragons

I’ve been playing through dungeons, which are grouped matches with 4 other players where you fight tougher than normal enemies.  These groups generally consist of a Tank, who absorbs damage and attracts the enemies, a Healer, who keeps the tank (and the group) alive.  And three DPS or Damage Per Second people, who have the job of dealing out as much damage as they can, as quickly as possible.  I am DPS, which is the most common type, since it’s easiest to play.  I like to think that I’m actually pretty awesome at DPS though since Fury Warrior ie Berserker…

World of Warcraft – Part 10 – Pandas… EVERYWHERE

A short period of time after I started playing, the latest and greatest Expansion, Mists of Pandaria, was released.  Pandas have been somewhat of an Easter Egg thing for the series (I think) for a while.  I know that in Warcraft 3 anyway, there was something to do with Pandas which was optional.  They now get their own full on debut for the world of Azeroth. The day of it’s release, Pandas popped up all over.  They were running all over the place doing quests and leveling up as quickly as they can.  Later, when I started playing dungeons, they…

World of Warcraft – Part 08 – A Pirate’s Life For Me

September 19 is “Talk Like a pirate Day” and World of Warcraft has a minor event in world celebrating the event.  Travel to Booty Bay on the south tip of the Eastern kingdom and meet with Captain DeMeza to get a special “Buff” and an achievement.  The “Buff” is basically “You look like a pirate”.  It can be cancelled and reactivated if you decide you want to drop the look and doesn’t add any other bonuses.  It lasts for 12 hours. I’d never been to Booty Bay before, so I had a few new experiences.  Firsly, Booty Bay is the…
